Pseudo-Jerome, on Mark 11:1

“And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,”

“For the righteous shall flourish as a palm tree, straitened in their roots, but spreading out wide with flowers and fruits; for they are a good odour unto Christ, and strew the way of the commandments of God with their good report. Those who went before are the prophets, and those who followed are the Apostles.”
